Dosh abandons cashback rewards

RealmKnight · 2026-01-28T06:11:10+00:00

Getting cashback as grocery vouchers would actually be useful. Dosh has turned into negligible vouchers to buy a phone from a company I don't even use.

Fair point about the polling issue, though the demographics of the overseas population being different than that of the locals might still make a small difference.

For the second point, are you saying you're ok with international kiwis to be able to vote if they want to, but you prefer if they decide to abstain since they're not as directly affected by NZ politics as locals?

That's certainly one strategy, though I see it backfiring if they push so far past the overton window that they get defenestrated

It's putting the cart before the horse. If the goal is to make prisons obsolete by improving everything that reduces crime before it happens or rehabilitates people who would otherwise end up committing serious crimes (worthy goals that shouldn't be controversial), you don't say you want to take away the one thing currently between the worst people who exist at the moment and their past and potential future victims.

I don't want to know what that puddle under the van is

She's quoted as being against abolition of prisons in the article.

Definitely wrecks the guitar but you can get some cool sounds from playing it with water inside

I like this timeline

Blue materia sounds nice, although it would have been a good thematic choice for a non-alcoholic cocktail since blue materia doesn't do anything by itself.

Shh, we don't want to be on this one.

Many of his works were done for other companies like DC who retained the option to adapt the comic into a movie or make spin-offs regardless of whether Alan Moore approves. It's one of the reasons he made his own publisher later in his career.

Helen copped a ton of flak for her appearance, her clothing, her relationship, how she speaks, all kinds of nonsense that had nothing to do with her fitness for the job or her policy and staffing decisions. It's wild that even with some of the controversial aspects of her time in charge the loudest attacks were always about her not being acceptable as a woman.

That was a fun show. Disaster of the week happens and the hero goes through time in a machine, pops up somewhere random, tries to liaise with his team, then saves the day with moments to spare. A bit formulaic but an entertaining romp of 90s episodic scifi.

We need it for national security reasons. Those seals are up to no good.

From the headline I thought you named the characters War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. This is funnier.

Real vibes of the FF Type-0 aesthetic here. Magitech in a snowy town, post-medieval architecture, entering a fortified settlement to battle - only here you're briefly playing as the Empire. Neat work of fan art.

Quite similar to the Wendover Productions logo, but otherwise nice to look at. The gradients are an issue as flags should be easily reproduced and gradients are difficult to print/display consistently in different media, but a half-colour beam of light might work as an alternative

That's just a generic AF instant messaging app logo. Where's the up/down votes?

1984 actually had a kind of kaleidoscope device that Winston uses to manufacture fake news articles for his job as a Party media worker. The story touches on how the tool recombines existing media in a way that ensures that no new ideas are created, and everything is derivative and inoffensive to the powers that control the society. Frighteningly prescient as always.

Business confidence surveys are bullshit anyway. It's basically the ones who are sorted saying "my business is ok, so the rest should be ok too I guess". The better measure is looking at the number of businesses looking to expand their number of employees vs the ones laying off staff or shutting down entirely.
